I2VGen-XL

I2VGen-XL: High-Quality Image-to-Video Synthesis via Cascaded Diffusion Models by Shiwei Zhang, Jiayu Wang, Yingya Zhang, Kang Zhao, Hangjie Yuan, Zhiwu Qin, Xiang Wang, Deli Zhao, and Jingren Zhou.

The abstract from the paper is:

Video synthesis has recently made remarkable strides benefiting from the rapid development of diffusion models. However, it still encounters challenges in terms of semantic accuracy, clarity and spatio-temporal continuity. They primarily arise from the scarcity of well-aligned text-video data and the complex inherent structure of videos, making it difficult for the model to simultaneously ensure semantic and qualitative excellence. In this report, we propose a cascaded I2VGen-XL approach that enhances model performance by decoupling these two factors and ensures the alignment of the input data by utilizing static images as a form of crucial guidance. I2VGen-XL consists of two stages: i) the base stage guarantees coherent semantics and preserves content from input images by using two hierarchical encoders, and ii) the refinement stage enhances the video’s details by incorporating an additional brief text and improves the resolution to 1280×720. To improve the diversity, we collect around 35 million single-shot text-video pairs and 6 billion text-image pairs to optimize the model. By this means, I2VGen-XL can simultaneously enhance the semantic accuracy, continuity of details and clarity of generated videos. Through extensive experiments, we have investigated the underlying principles of I2VGen-XL and compared it with current top methods, which can demonstrate its effectiveness on diverse data. The source code and models will be publicly available at this https URL.

Notes

- I2VGenXL always uses a `clip_skip` value of 1. This means it leverages the penultimate layer representations from the text encoder of CLIP.
- It can generate videos of quality that is often on par with Stable Video Diffusion (SVD).
- Unlike SVD, it additionally accepts text prompts as inputs.
- It can generate higher resolution videos.
- When using the DDIMScheduler (which is default for this pipeline), less than 50 steps for inference leads to bad results.
- This implementation is 1-stage variant of I2VGenXL. The main figure in the I2VGen-XL paper shows a 2-stage variant, however, 1-stage variant works well. See this discussion for more details.

pipelines.i2vgen_xl.pipeline_i2vgen_xl.I2VGenXLPipelineOutput or `tuple`

Parameters

- prompt (`str` or `List[str]`, optional) — The prompt or prompts to guide image generation. If not defined, you need to pass `prompt_embeds`.
- image (`PIL.Image.Image` or `List[PIL.Image.Image]` or `torch.Tensor`) — Image or images to guide image generation. If you provide a tensor, it needs to be compatible with `CLIPImageProcessor`.
- height (`int`, optional, defaults to `self.unet.config.sample_size * self.vae_scale_factor`) — The height in pixels of the generated image.
- width (`int`, optional, defaults to `self.unet.config.sample_size * self.vae_scale_factor`) — The width in pixels of the generated image.
- target_fps (`int`, optional) — Frames per second. The rate at which the generated images shall be exported to a video after generation. This is also used as a “micro-condition” while generation.
- num_frames (`int`, optional) — The number of video frames to generate.
- num_inference_steps (`int`, optional) — The number of denoising steps.
- guidance_scale (`float`, optional, defaults to 7.5) — A higher guidance scale value encourages the model to generate images closely linked to the text `prompt` at the expense of lower image quality. Guidance scale is enabled when `guidance_scale > 1`.
- negative_prompt (`str` or `List[str]`, optional) — The prompt or prompts to guide what to not include in image generation. If not defined, you need to pass `negative_prompt_embeds` instead. Ignored when not using guidance (`guidance_scale < 1`).
- eta (`float`, optional) — Corresponds to parameter eta (η) from the DDIM paper. Only applies to the DDIMScheduler, and is ignored in other schedulers.
- num_videos_per_prompt (`int`, optional) — The number of images to generate per prompt.
- decode_chunk_size (`int`, optional) — The number of frames to decode at a time. The higher the chunk size, the higher the temporal consistency between frames, but also the higher the memory consumption. By default, the decoder will decode all frames at once for maximal quality. Reduce `decode_chunk_size` to reduce memory usage.
- generator (`torch.Generator` or `List[torch.Generator]`, optional) — A `torch.Generator` to make generation deterministic.
- latents (`torch.Tensor`, optional) — Pre-generated noisy latents sampled from a Gaussian distribution, to be used as inputs for image generation. Can be used to tweak the same generation with different prompts. If not provided, a latents tensor is generated by sampling using the supplied random `generator`.
- prompt_embeds (`torch.Tensor`, optional) — Pre-generated text embeddings. Can be used to easily tweak text inputs (prompt weighting). If not provided, text embeddings are generated from the `prompt` input argument.
- negative_prompt_embeds (`torch.Tensor`, optional) — Pre-generated negative text embeddings. Can be used to easily tweak text inputs (prompt weighting). If not provided, `negative_prompt_embeds` are generated from the `negative_prompt` input argument.
- output_type (`str`, optional, defaults to `"pil"`) — The output format of the generated image. Choose between `PIL.Image` or `np.array`.
- return_dict (`bool`, optional, defaults to `True`) — Whether or not to return a StableDiffusionPipelineOutput instead of a plain tuple.
- cross_attention_kwargs (`dict`, optional) — A kwargs dictionary that if specified is passed along to the `AttentionProcessor` as defined in `self.processor`.
- clip_skip (`int`, optional) — Number of layers to be skipped from CLIP while computing the prompt embeddings. A value of 1 means that the output of the pre-final layer will be used for computing the prompt embeddings.
